Just Breathe
Pearl Jamက Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yes I understand
That every life must end
As we sit alone
I know someday we must go

Yeah I'm a lucky man
To count on both hands
The ones I love
Some folks just have one
Yeah others they got none

Stay with me
Let's just breathe

Practised on our sins
Never gonna let me win
Under everything
Just another human being

I don't want to hurt
There's so much in this world
To make me believe

Stay with me
All I see

Did I say that I need you?
Did I say that I want you?
What if I did and I'm a fool you see
No one knows this more than me
'Cause I come clean

I wonder everyday
As I look upon your face
Everything you gave
And nothing you would take
Nothing you would take
Everything you gave

Did I say that I need you?
Did I say that I want you?
What if I did and I'm a fool you see
No one knows this more than me
I come clean

Nothing you would take
Everything you gave




Hold me 'till I die
Meet you on the other side

Overall Meaning

In Pearl Jam's song "Just Breathe," Eddie Vedder is contemplating the inevitability of death and the importance of cherishing the time spent with loved ones. The opening lines acknowledge the inescapable truth that all lives must end, while also acknowledging that we all still have time left. He then expresses his gratitude for the people in his life, and recognizing not everyone has someone to love. The chorus expresses a desire to hold onto what we have for as long as we can, and to just breathe and enjoy the moment. The second verse talks about the self-awareness that comes with age and experience, and the importance of not causing harm. The bridge brings up the fear of expressing emotions, and the vulnerability it can create. Finally, the last verse speaks to the idea of taking nothing for granted, and cherishing the time we have with loved ones.
